Carol and her Shoe Garden, have blessed me, yet again, this week, with gorgeous shoes. Not usually an online reviewer, I thought it was time I said a big thank you to Carol for both 'lovely long' pairs, that fit beautifully, and are exactly how I imagined from online photos - particulalry your own modelled one - together with your super helpful/relevant additional sizing info. I always follow your advice, and find it's been spot on for me every time. (Why, WHY don't other stores take the time to offer similar customer support???!) Now, back to my shoe review, I dithered on the new Valerio Conte range, resisting an overwhelming desire for a pair in every colour, in every style, the beautiful embroidered ones, LUV them! Ultimately I chose, Valerio Conte Crete Preto, super comfortable, versatile, good quality and excellent price! The cross straps and cute pyramids, offer an 'x factor' so I can dress them up, or wear casually, I've done both already! One more thing, I really like the 'lovely longies' pre-loved section, it's brilliant. I purchased a dleightful pair of bright, bright green slides unworn(!) & pre-loved, and already, I love as my very own. Big, big thank you to Carol's Shoe Garden, I will be with you for years to come!
